1/6:San Diego Padres infielder Yangervis Solarte was traded to Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday, as first reported by Jeff Passan of Yahoo. Outfielder Edward Olivares and pitcher Jared Carkuff will head to San Diego in the trade. The Blue Jays have been looking for help in the infield and Solarte can play second, shortstop and third. He had a career-high 18 home runs in 2017 and had an .808 OPS in 2016. In a better hitter's environment, he'll be slightly more attractive in deep mixed and AL-only leagues, mainly for his positional versatility. Back in San Diego, third baseman Chase Headley, who was acquired from the Yankees this offseason, is expected to man the hot corner in 2018. The Blue Jays don't really have a need for another starting infielder, so Solarte may just be insurance in case Toronto decides to trade third baseman Josh Donaldson.--Chris Zolli - RotoBallerSource: Jeff Passan on Twitter
